Starship Troopers by Robert A. Heinlein 📚 #MediaMonday
This is one of Heinlein’s more famous (or infamous) books. It has strong opinions on earning voting rights by national service, and while it can be a bit lecture-y at times, is overall a good story.
Mini Motorways iOS game 📱 #MediaMonday
One of my favorite iPhone games. An easy strategy/sim game, where you connect roads, bridges, tunnels, and freeways between businesses and houses, with optional challenges. It is available as part of Apple Arcade.
Stranger in a Strange Land by Robert A. Heinlein 📚 #MediaMonday
I’m a fan of Heinlein’s books, and Stranger is perhaps the most famous of them. The story of a human raised by Martians, his difficulties fitting in on Earth, and strange powers and philosophies.
Sinclair Trails blog 🔗🚌 #MediaMonday
Check out my blog about our full-time travel around the US in a 40-foot luxury motorhome. A new post every day about travel days, places we explore, RV enhancements and repairs, new food experiences, and more.
We Are Legion (We Are Bob): Bobiverse, Book 1 by Dennis E. Taylor 📚 #MediaMonday
We listened to the Bobiverse audio books while driving on long trips. Very entertaining stories about someone who wakes up as a sentient self-replicating space probe.
Beyond This Horizon by Robert A. Heinlein 📚 #MediaMonday
I’ve been a fan of Heinlein’s books since I was a kid, though some aspects haven’t aged well. It’s hard to pick a favorite, but one I really like is Beyond This Horizon, an interesting utopian vision of the future.
Toll by Matt Gemmell 📚 #MediaMonday
The second book in his KESTREL action-thriller series, about a secret experiment that is discovered, and threatens all humanity.
Robot or Not podcast 📡 #MediaMonday
A short podcast where Jason Snell asks John Siracusa to define concepts and words. Originally about if something qualified as a robot, now about all sorts of things. Fascinating and entertaining.
Simon macOS app 💻 #MediaMonday
A pro Mac utility to monitor websites and servers for changes or failures. Yes, it’s an app I wrote, so I may be biased in recommending it, but for those who need that functionality, it is very useful.
Mythic Quest TV series 📺 #MediaMonday
An excellent AppleTV+ comedy series set in a video game development studio, about the creators, developers, testers, and other staff.
